What if it happens the other way? If driver crash the car into the tree and the tree fell? I think NEA will come after her...

But when NEA's tree crash into your car...they say act of god..

 

Bro, trees under NParks not NEA.

NParks is under PM Office.

They are so powerful, they can plant trees anywhere and no one can stop them.

If you touch their trees, they will come fine you.

If their tree touch you...sorry, you're out of luck.

Can we request to NEA to remove all trees at the HDB open carparks ?

 

Usually carparks with trees are non hotspots. Drivers dun like to park under the trees with the following reasons:

 

1. Attract birds to **** on the car

2. Trees produce sticky sap which make the cars difficult to wash away

3. Tree drops leaves esp those small leaf to dirty the car windscreens

4. Trees fall like this incident

5. Mango Trees drop mango dented my car roof :(

 

hv all the above cos i dun psrk at mscp

in fact my ex car roof is house for ants, they sleep under the rubber joints

not even hot sun can kill them

It's actually the existing trees that any developer/consultant/contractor wish to fell for building developments or other civil/infrastructure works that is causing the friction. Good luck if the tree is classified as a heritage tree, of a rare species or with girth of more than a metre.

 

Granted that their role is to preserve our garden city status by planting & conserving as many trees as possible but given our limited land area & ever increasing population, a balance has to be struck somewhere.

 

Folks who deal with them will know what I mean.

 

Yes they are under PMO but I understand that during the old man's time they really all-out & had the biggest say.

What recourse does she has?

Car crushed by tree: Now what do I do, asks desperate driver

Imagine receiving a phone call from HDB one day telling you your car has been wrecked, and nobody's to blame. That's what happened to STOMPer Patricia, after a tree toppled over onto her parked car seemingly on its own.

The STOMPer explained her situation:
